Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I am very lucky to have Dr Prabhu as my doctor
He is a wealth of knowledge. He cares, He is an outstanding doctor.

Dr. Prabhu is competent, caring and wonderful.
Dr. Prabhu has a wealth of knowledge and experience that he generously uses to treat and heal his patients. My father and brother are both physicians in other specialties, and I have been around physicians my entire life. Dr. Prabhu knows his field very well and exudes confidence and compassion. He has helped me, my wife, daughters and father-in-law on many occasions and I am happy to report that we all wholeheartedly endorse and recommend him.

Dont go here I had a sleep study done by Dr Prabhu , have been on a cpap foryears. Had a test done on 12/2019. Never heard anyhing from Dr Prabhu's office. Went into get some info from Preferred Homecare. they suggested I contact my Dr. in regards to my AHI. I then received a call suggesting I come into the office and have my cpap machine adjusted, Which Dr Prabhu himself did.(the exam rooms were as small as a coat closet. Then they wanted me to come back in two weeks. Saw a Ms. Reis. She said it had not been adjusted. I told her Dr Prabhu had done it. I was already upset as I went a whole year with out the correction in my psi. Plus when I got the print out from Preferred homecare in regards to the RX for the change, It showed I was a 40something male that smoked. Dr Prabhu's office staff did not seem concerned in regards to that error. Iam a 77 yr old female. My husband and I left and looked for another Sleep Study program that cared Dont go there.

Though Dr. Prabhu is a very knowledgeable and capable doctor, his front office staff is poor and and grumpy. Dr. Prabhu ordered medication, a steroid, an antibiotic, and nebulizer. After 3 calls and 2 weeks later to find out when I was going to get the machine without any response, I asked to speak to manager. My 2nd call finally talked to her. She complained about how busy she is and how I was bugging her. The tests has never been scheduled nor a return appointment isn't scheduled, either.

Dr. Prabhu is very nice and knowledgeable but if you are not a pulmonary patient you are subjected to an endless round of PAs who are constantly misrepresented as doctors and doctors who can't write prescriptions! Staff will not let you contact Dr. Prabhu so I found another provider.

Was referred in January, was not given CPAP until September. My appointment with the doctor was rushed. The doctor literally gave me a minute of his time and hastily used his stethoscope. Basically same job my primary care provider could have done. The assistant took about 3-4 minutes to run through the standard diagnostic questions. Paid $150 for him to approve my CPAP usage to my insurance company. Billing and front office are disorganized and do not send results to my primary care doctor.
